At the SAP Sapphire conference in Orlando, Florida, SAP SE announced innovations that deliver business value for customers in four critical areas: supply chain resilience, sustainability, business process transformation, and no-code application development.
According to a recent survey from Boston Consulting Group, while 80% of companies are turning to digital solutions to navigate current business challenges, only about 30% are successfully achieving a true digital transformation of their business. Today’s innovations will help SAP customers accelerate their transformation journey with cloud-based solutions that provide the end-to-end business process support customers most need.
“For 50 years, SAP’s mission-critical solutions and deep industry expertise have helped businesses worldwide run their best,” said Christian Klein, CEO, and Member of the Executive Board of SAP SE. “We’re uniquely positioned to continue enabling our customers’ success in a rapidly evolving world by driving cloud-based digital transformation that solves customers’ most pressing challenges, from supply chain resilience to sustainability.”
Resilient supply chains and intelligent business networks
SAP innovations improve supply chain efficiency and transparency, enabling improved performance and resilience. Through its ongoing partnership with Apple to transform how people work on iPhone and iPad, SAP has announced a new suite of apps that streamline the digital supply chain and empower workers with intuitive tools.
In addition, the new SAP Digital Manufacturing Cloud solution brings together the latest analytics, edge computing, automation, and state-of-the-art innovations supporting manufacturing processes end to end to help customers optimize manufacturing performance. SAP Business Network also continues to evolve as the world’s largest business network, and with the planned integration of Taulia software, customers can unlock the value tied up in their working capital.
Moving businesses from talk to action on sustainability
The increase in SAP solutions for sustainability uniquely positions the software to help companies move from well-meaning talk to meaningful action. Innovations out today include new capabilities in the SAP Cloud for Sustainable Enterprises solution to help companies innovate across key areas of sustainability management. The enhanced SAP Product Footprint Management solution helps customers reduce product carbon footprints at scale with live connectivity with SAP S/4HANA Cloud, including transport and travel capabilities.
Enabling business process transformation
